[zabbix2] Feature request: allow docker_api access

[furrnace]

Hi, as you are already providing zabbix-agent2, it would be great to benefit from its ability to also expose docker containers.

You just need to map the docker socket and provide the docker group to the agent2 container:

-v '/var/run/docker.sock':'/var/run/docker.sock' --group-add=997

(make sure you check the correct group id in /etc/group)

It's a small change, but a great source of data for Zabbix.

Yeah that should be easy to implement. AFAIK it's just a config JSON param one needs to set to true.
Please open a PR!

docker_api: true is probably what you want.

where do i put that or do i need to wait for an update of the add-on?

[pschmitt]

you will need to wait till I find the time to release and test that.

[furrnace]

alright, looking forward to that and all the best

Hi, I agree with this request: it would be really nice to be able to monitor containers via the zabbix agent. Especially with the proliferation of docker-based add-ons.
